A sharp pain woke me from my slumber and I see four guards dragging me and Morrigan outside. Surrounding is was the whole town. There was loud cheering. A priest well known as St.John looked at us in disgust.

The jeering town went silent "Satan's bastards corrupt our town and on this day we release these demons from their painful life. Let Salem be free from their evil" the priest said. "St.John! This is blasphemy" I cried. His eyes held only hate. "The demon tries to sway me, I see. Drag them to the stake."

He commanded the guards. I and Morrigan are dragged to two separate Stakes with Firewood at the bottom. I swallowed a lump in my throat forcing the tears to not escape. I refused to weep for myself and for others that were before me. The towns peoples jeered. And it was then I knew, they were angry. And only took their anger out on innocents.

I remember Ma coming home exclaiming how the town believed that dark times were ahead and how God has left them in silence. Now I know why. They have become cruel.

The Priest held a torch and as dawn arose our stakes were being torched. the orange flowers licked and grazed my skin causing a burning sensation. The pain doubled and tears welled in my eyes. The crowd cheered as Me and Morrigan's screams left our throats. And soon. True darkness overcame me. My life was flashed before my eyes. From the second I was born till now.
